Antigone Peri

I am an experienced English Language Teacher with a strong background in teaching students of different ages and language levels. I have experience teaching primary, secondary, GCSE A Level, IGCSE, IELTS, and second-language learners, including students with ADHD and dyslexia. I create engaging and differentiated lessons that support both academic achievement and student confidence.

Teaching Methods
My teaching methods include:

Student-Centred Learning – encouraging active participation, discussion, and collaboration in the classroom.

Differentiated Instruction – adapting materials and teaching strategies to meet the needs of mixed-ability learners and students with learning difficulties.

Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) – focusing on speaking, listening, interaction, and real-life communication skills.

Task-Based Learning – using practical activities, projects, and problem-solving tasks to develop language skills.

Scaffolding Techniques – breaking down difficult concepts into manageable steps to support learner understanding.

Use of Technology and Interactive Activities – incorporating multimedia, worksheets, presentations, and online resources to increase engagement.

Exam Preparation Strategies – preparing students for IGCSE and IELTS examinations through reading comprehension, writing structures, vocabulary development, and exam practice.

PETAL and Analytical Writing Techniques – teaching students how to structure responses and analyse texts effectively.

Inclusive Teaching Approaches – creating supportive classroom environments for students with ADHD, dyslexia, and varying educational needs.
